Given:
A figure of a right triangle and an altitude form the right angle vertex to hypotenuse.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
From the given figure, it is clear that the altitude divides the hypotenuse in two segments x and 8.
Length of altitude = 18
If an altitude divide the hypotenuse in 2 segments, then according to the geometric mean theorem, the length of the altitude is the geometric mean of two segments of hypotenuse.
By using geometric mean theorem, we get
[tex]18=\sqrt{x\times 8}[/tex] [tex][\because \text{Geometric mean of }a,b,c:b=\sqrt{ac}][/tex]
[tex]18^2=8x[/tex]
[tex]324=8x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8.
[tex]\dfrac{324}{8}=x[/tex]
[tex]40.5=x[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 40.5.

1) True (Intersection is (2, 140)
2) False
3) Not sure, but I'm leaning towards F
4) True
Image 2: -4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 50x + 40
y = 60x + 20
y = 50(6) + 40 = 340
y = 60(6) + 20 = 380
140 = 50x + 40
50x = 100
x = 2
140 = 60x + 20
60x = 120
x = 2

a taxi company charges passengers 1.75 for a ride,?
a taxi company charges passengers 1.75 for a ride, no matter long the ride is, and an additonal $0.40 for each mile traveled. the rule c=0.40m+1.75 describes the relationship between the number of miles M and the total cost of the ride c.
what is the charge for 2.7 mile ride
A. 5.13
B. 1.08
C. 2.15
D. 2.83
Favorite Answer
D 2.83
c = 0.4. * 2.7 + 1.75
=> c = 2.83
Step-by-step explanation: It Looks Like The Answer is D
c=0.40(2.7)+1.75=$2.83 so $2.83 is the answer
1.75+(2.7*.4)=
1.75+1.08=
2.83
The answer is $2.83

Answer:
One property of rectangles is that the diagonals of rectangles bisect each other, meaning 2 of JN is equal to JL.
We can form an equation off of this, 2(x+3) = 3x + 1 and then solve for x
2(x+3)= 3x + 1 First, distribute the 2 to each term in x+3,
the result should be:
2x + 6 = 3x+ 1 then subtract 2x from both sides
-2x -2x
the result should be :
6 = x + 1 subtract 1 from both sides
-1 -1
the result should be x=5
plug that into the equations and JN= 5+3, JL=15+1
The two correct options are
NM = 8 ( both of the diagonals are equal to eachother )
JL = 16

Answers
Answer:
the fraction of the newspaper remains is [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the fraction of the newspaper remains is shown below:
[tex]= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{5} \\\\= \frac{5 - 2}{10} \\\\= \frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Hence, the fraction of the newspaper remains is [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

lucy works for 37 hours per week. her weekly wage is £303.40. she receives a pay increase of 25p per hour. work out her new weekly wage
Answers
Answer:
312.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The new weekly wage is $312.65 if the Lucy works for 37 hours per week. Her weekly wage is £303.40.
What is linear equation?It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.
We have:
Lucy works for 37 hours per week.
Weekly wage = $303.40
Per hour wage = 303.40/37 = $8.2 per hour
1 dollar = 100 penny(p)
25p = $0.25
New wage per hour = 8.2 + 0.25 = $8.45
Total wage = 8.45×37 = $312.65
Thus, the new weekly wage is $312.65 if the Lucy works for 37 hours per week. Her weekly wage is £303.40.

What is the volume of a prism with a length of 3 units, a width of 6 units, and a height of 2 units?
Answers
Answer:
36 units³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by
Volume, V = l * w * h, where
V = volume like I had stated
L = length of the prism
w = width of the prism
h = height of the prism
Going by the aforelisted parameters, we can apply them to the formula to get our answer straight
Volume, V = 3 * 6 * 2
Volume, V = 36 units³
Therefore, the volume of the prism is 36 units³
